As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed. read more.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them. And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith, but the law is not of faith, but he that does these things shall live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree, that the blessing of Abraham may come on the nations, in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith. Brothers, I speak according to man. But no one abolishes a man's covenant when it is established, or makes additions to it. The promises were spoken to Abraham and his offspring. He said not, And to offsprings, as of many, but as of one, And to your offspring, which is Christ. And this I say; that the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot abrogate the covenant previously established by God, to make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no longer by the promise. But God gave it to Abraham by the promise.

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by a servant woman, and the other by a free woman. But he by the servant woman was born of the flesh, and he by the free woman, by the promise.

for Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; and the present Jerusalem answers to her, for she is in servitude with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us; for it is written, Rejoice, barren woman, that did not bear, break forth and cry, woman that had no pain, for the children of the desolate are more numerous than those of her who had a husband. But we, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise. But as then he that was born of the flesh persecuted him that was born of the Spirit, so also now. But what says the Scripture? Cast out the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant woman shall not be an heir, with the son of the free. Wherefore, brothers, we are not children of the servant woman, but of the free.
